  2. Application Deployments

10 Application Deployments

This chapter describes how to monitor, control, and configure various types of applications deployed to the current domain. Application deployment refers to the process of making an application or module available for processing client requests in a WebLogic Server domain.

WebLogic Server implements the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 7 specification. Java EE 7 includes a deployment specification, JSR-88, that describes a standard API used by deployment tools and application server providers to configure and deploy applications to an application server. For more information about application deployment, see Deploying Applications to Oracle WebLogic Server.

Note:

If you are logged into a domain partition, navigate from the Domain Partition menu. Note that WebLogic Server Multitenant domain partitions, resource groups, resource group templates, and virtual targets are deprecated in WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0 and will be removed in the next release.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Understanding application deployment scopes

When deploying an application, you select the scope in which you want to deploy that application: global (domain), a resource group template, or a resource group at the domain or partition level.

If an application is deployed to the domain, then you can target the application to the WebLogic Server instances and clusters within the domain.

The deployment menu options change depending on the scope and target of your application. The following deployment menus are available:

  • Domain Application Deployment

  • Application Deployment

  • Clustered Application Deployment

  • Domain Partition Application Deployment

Monitor all application deployments

To monitor all applications and modules deployed on this domain:

  1. From the WebLogic Domain menu, select Monitoring, then select Deployments.

    The Summary table displays information about the applications deployed to the current domain, such as:

    • Name

    • Status

    • State

    • Health

    • Type

    • Deployment Order

    • Scope

    For more information about these fields, see Configuration Options.

    Optionally, select View to access the following table options:

    • Columns: add or remove the columns displayed in the table

      See Configuration Options.

  3. In the table, select the name of the application for which you want to view additional configuration information.

Control application deployments

You can deploy applications and libraries to the domain, as well as redeploy or undeploy existing applications. You can also start and stop applications, override application configuration, and fetch deployment plans.

This section includes the following tasks:

Deploy applications

Deploying an application makes its physical file or directory known to WebLogic Server. After you have deployed the application, you can start it so that users can begin using it. See Start applications.

To deploy an application:

  1. From the WebLogic Domain menu, select Control, then select Deployments.

    The Deployments page is displayed.

  2. Click Deployment and select Deploy to open the Deploy Java EE Application Assistant.
  3. On the Select Archive page, locate the application you want to deploy and choose whether to upload a deployment plan or create a new deployment plan.
  4. In Scope, select whether you want to install the application globally, to a resource group template, or to a resource group at the domain or partition level.
  5. Click Next.
  6. If you chose to deploy this application globally, on the Select Target page, then select the server instances and clusters to which you want to deploy the application.
  7. Click Next.

  10. Optionally, on the Deployment Settings page, you can complete common tasks before deploying the application and update deployment settings.
  11. Click Redeploy to complete deployment of this application.

Undeploy applications

Undeploying an application removes it from every target of the domain to which the application is deployed. Once you undeploy an application from the domain, you must deploy it again if you want to make it available to WebLogic Server clients. To temporarily make applications unavailable to WebLogic Server clients, you can stop them instead of undeploying them.

Note:

If you undeploy an application or module from a resource group template that is referenced by multiple resource groups, then the application or module is also removed from all referencing resource groups.

To undeploy an application:

  1. From the WebLogic Domain menu, select Control, then select Deployments.
  2. In the Deployments table, select the row of the application you want to undeploy.

    The control options are displayed above the table.

  3. Click Deployment and select Undeploy.
  4. On the Undeploy Java EE Application: Confirmation page, click Undeploy to confirm your decision and remove the application.

    If you later want to deploy the removed application, see Deploy applications.

Start applications

Starting an application makes it available to WebLogic Server clients. Before you can start an application, you must first deploy it. See Deploy applications.

To start an application:

  1. From the WebLogic Domain menu, select Control, then select Deployments.
  2. In the Deployments table, select the row of the deployment you want to start.

    The control options are displayed above the table.

    To stop the deployment when work completes, select When work completes. To force the deployment to stop immediately, select Force stop now. To stop servicing client requests but continue servicing administration requests, select Stop, but continue servicing administration requests.

  4. Click Stop to confirm your decision.

Override application configuration

When a resource group references a resource group template, you can override the default application configuration for applications and modules defined to the resource group template by specifying a different deployment plan. The application or module is then redeployed using the new deployment plan for its application configuration.

To override the configuration for an application or module:

  1. From the WebLogic Domain menu, select Control, then select Deployments.
  2. In the Deployments table, select the row containing the application or which you want to override configuration.

Enterprise applications

An enterprise application consists of one or more Web application modules, EJB modules, Web services, and resource adapters. It might also include a client application. An enterprise application is defined by an application.xml file, which is the standard Java EE deployment descriptor for enterprise applications. If the application includes WebLogic Server-specific extensions, then the application is further defined by a weblogic-application.xml file. Enterprise applications that include a client module will also have a client-application.xml deployment descriptor and a WebLogic runtime client application deployment descriptor.

For both production and development purposes, Oracle recommends that you package and deploy even standalone Web applications, EJBs, Web services, and resource adapters as part of an enterprise application.

Libraries

Java EE libraries provide an easy way to share one or more types of Java EE modules among multiple enterprise applications.

A Java EE library is a standalone EJB or Web application module, multiple EJB or Web application modules packaged in an enterprise application (EAR), or a single plain JAR file that is registered with the Java EE application container upon deployment. After the library has been registered, you can deploy enterprise applications that reference the library. Each referencing application receives a reference to the required library module(s) on deployment, and can use those modules as if they were packaged as part of the referencing application itself. The shared library classes are added to the classpath of the referencing application, and the referencing application's deployment descriptors are merged (in memory) with those of the Java EE library modules.
